Howard was born at Wenona, Ill, August 1, 1873. Came to Nebraska with his parents in ______. Received his education in our public school, graduating in 1874. He married on May 31, 1913 to Miss Emma Michuelis. To them was born one son, Arlo Wilson. In former years he was a member of the Good Temple Lodge, the encampment Rebekaha at Royal Highlanders. On morning of May 9, 1918 he was called home to meet his father and mother who awaited him on high. He leaves his wife, son, three sisters: Mrs. Ida Anderson, Pueblo, Colorado, Mrs. Harriet Storrs, of Cripple Creek, Colorado, and Mrs. J.O. Freley (sic), and one brother, J.M. Howard of Chester, besides a host of friends. ====== After an illness extending over a year, D.J. Howard, postmaster of Chester, passed away at a sanatorium in Colorado Springs, Colorado; Thursday forenoon last week, where he had gone to two weeks previous with hope of regaining his health, on the advice of physicians. Although he had postponed seeking the benefit of this Colorado climate longer than was best, he did not lose hope of ultimate recovery, but the dread disease had so fastened its hold upon him that instead of regaining his health and strength, he gradually grew weaker until death released him. The news of his death came as a shock, though not unexpected to the relatives and friends here. Mrs. Howard was called to his bedside reaching his a short time before the final summons. The remains were brought to Chester arriving Saturday morning, being met at the depot by local Odd Fellows and tenderly conveyed to the family residence where Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock, the funeral service was held. In charge of the local I.O.O.F. Lodge, No. 135 of this the deceased was an active and prominent member, the Rev. Neal Johnson of the Methodist Church having charge of the scriptural ceremony, after which the body was laid to rest in the Chester Cemetery. Mr. Howard became postmaster under the present democratic administration. He was giving good satisfaction and at considerable personal expense, through which the town and patrons alone benefited, improved the office equipment and conveniences to such extent that our post office would be a credit to towns much larger than Chester. Deceased was always active in state and county politics, and the first president of the Chester Community Club, was frequently looked to head and lead in social and progressive enterprises of the town, was public spirited and a successful organizer. He had many friends, bound to him through lodge fraternity, police and common associations and his death has caused a vacancy in the community.
